One that I cherishedA
Yea loved as a sonB
Up early up late withC
My promising oneB
No use in good nurtureD
None lads noneB

Here on this settleE
He wore the true crownF
King of good fellowsG
And Fat Jack was oneB
Now Beadle of EnglandH
In formal arrayI
Best fellow aliveJ
On a throne flung awayI
-
Companions and croniesK
Keep fast and lamentL
Come drawer more sack hereM
To drown discontentL
For now intuitionsK
Shall wither to codesK
Pragmatized moralsK
Shall libel the godsK

One I instructedN
Yea talked to aloneO
Precept exampleE
Clean away thrownO

Sorrow makes thirstyP
Sack drawer more sackQ
One that I prayed forR
I Honest JackQ

To bring down these grey hairsK
To cut his old palS
But I'll be magnanimousK
Here's to thee HalS
